How exactly are you uploading and embedding it, and are you in the UK? Are you uploading it to the media library and clicking "Insert in post?" Please give us the URL of a post or page where this is happening, and the URL of the uploaded image.

If you're in the UK, contact your ISP. They are currently blocking image servers at WP.com in a misguided attempt to comply with the new porn regs.

We Volunteers cannot view drafts or previews. We can view only published content.

All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. That's a HUGE space and it's unlikely you will have used it all unless you are uploading HUGE images straight from your camera that are not optimized for the web and presized prior to uploading them. Have you exhausted your free space for posting images? Check here > Settings > Media Library. If so then you can purchase a space upgrade > http://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

We are having the same problem on this sitehttp://tellicokats.com/
in the US. First it happened in a blog post - image from the Media Library was inserted into the post and only appeared in the text code, not as an image. Now it is also happening on "pages". We've searched everywhere for an answer, and we can't find anything we've done differently than previously. Please help ASAP!
